The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Hearing what Link said, Emily immediately realized the shallowness of her knowledge in this area.

She smiled and blushed, nodded slightly and stopped talking.

Fortunately, neither Link nor John wanted to continue on this topic.

They know very well that this situation is quite common in the wizarding world. Not only the native pure-blood wizards, but also the mixed-race and Muggle-blood wizards who have been away from Muggle society for a long time cannot understand something like magical video editing. New technology inspired by Muggle technology.

Derived from this is the blind faith of wizards in the media.

The so-called pictures and truth can be said to be the true psychological portrayal of most wizards.

This is also the main reason why Link, Fudge and others were able to use the Daily Prophet so easily to manipulate public opinion.

Closer to home.

Link and the others quickly changed a few irrelevant topics to make the awkward atmosphere disappear. John, who had been in a state of wandering, finally closed his divergent gaze, pointed to the ceiling with excitement and curiosity and said:

"Link, could this be the... Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?"

As soon as he said this, Cedric sat up straighter - he had been curious about this question for a long time.

Link and Emily looked at each other and laughed.

They really didn't expect that John would come up with such an answer after thinking about it for a long time.

After a while, Link wiped the tears from laughter at the corners of his eyes and explained to the darkened John:

"This is indeed the Chamber of Secrets, but it's not the one in Slytherin. The difference is more complicated. Why don't we wait until all the guests tonight are here...ah, what a coincidence, they are here."

After saying that, Link and Emily looked towards the door, while John and Cedric also turned their heads with confusion on their faces.

Under the gaze of the four people, the door to the Room of Requirement was slowly opened, and the confused faces of Hermione and Harry immediately appeared in everyone's sight.

"Why are you still standing there? Come in and sit down."

Link stood up and waved to the two of them. Hermione and Harry, who had been frightened by the activation of the mechanism in the Room of Requirement, finally reacted and were led into the study in a daze, and sat on the sofa that Link pointed to. sit down.

Unfortunately, Harry was too excited and couldn't sit still at all. Before his butt actually touched the sofa, he couldn't wait to say:

"Link, Link! What the hell is this place?"

Hearing this, Link spread his hands and gave John and others a look that said, "Look, it really is like this." This made everyone laugh again.

"What's so funny about that?"

Harry said with some dissatisfaction.

"Don't worry, this is just a little joke, we don't mean any harm."

Emily comforted her.

Although her voice sounds gentle and easy-going, it can be described as sincere.

But Hermione still curled her lips when she heard this.

"Okay, okay, let me explain it to you." Link finally stood up after seeing this, "The secret room you are in now is the famous Room of Requirement."

"Response Room?"*2

John and Harry said in unison.

Hermione and Cedric had a flash of understanding and surprise on their faces.

Among them, Hermione even exclaimed and covered her mouth.

When Link saw this, he imitated Professor Flitwick's tone in class and said on a whim:

"Aha, it seems that some students have already known about it in advance. Is anyone willing to step forward and answer the questions for other students?"

Link said and looked at Cedric.

It seemed to him that Cedric should know better.

But just as he finished speaking, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Hermione beside him raise her hand in an instant.

She raised her hand so high that her entire body was lifted off the sofa.

Seeing this scene, Emily couldn't help but sigh:

"Wow! She really deserves to be Miss Know-it-all."

Hearing this, Hermione gritted her teeth and stared at Emily, but then she heard Link say:

"Okay, don't make trouble. Hermione, tell me what you know."

"Okay then..." Hermione reluctantly withdrew her gaze from Emily, took a deep breath and said, "The Room of Requirement, or the Room of Requirement, is the legendary Big Three of Hogwarts who founded Hogwarts. This secret room has some magical power and is very secret. It is not even recorded in "Hogwarts: A History of the School", and I have never heard of anyone finding it. ,It surprised me that……"

"Wait a minute," John interrupted, "if it's as you said, the Room of Requirement is not even recorded in Hogwarts: A History of the School, then how did you know about it? Woolen cloth?"

Hearing this, Hermione looked down upon John in a condescending manner:

"I guess you must have failed the History of Magic owl. If you are more serious about the History of Magic class, you should know that Professor Binns explicitly talked about this in the third grade. After all, this is also part of Professor Binns's course. One of the few interesting stories.”

When Hermione said this, John opened and closed his mouth continuously, but he couldn't say anything in rebuttal. His whole face turned red from holding back, and he was terribly embarrassed.

clap clap-

At this moment, a crisp sound of applause suddenly sounded, helping John out of trouble.

I saw Link clapping and laughing:

"That's great, Hermione. If I had the power to add points, I would definitely add at least 20 points to you!"

As soon as Link said this, Hermione no longer had the intention to continue staring at John. She turned her head away from her previous fierceness and said shyly:

"So...I got the answer right?"

"Of course! The situation in the Room of Requirement is indeed exactly what you said. But regarding its magical abilities," Link paused, "Do you know why it is called the Room of Requirement?"

"For...why?"

Harry asked cooperatively.

Others also leaned forward curiously.

"Because it can satisfy almost any request you have for it! For example, I now need a place where we can hold a banquet."

Link said, shaking his wand.

Immediately, under a burst of gray light, the scenery around everyone began to rotate and twist at high speed.

When the scenery calmed down, the original study room had completely disappeared and was replaced by a magnificent banquet hall with a huge long table in the center.

"Another example is, I need a bathroom."

The scenery changed again, and a luxurious room with a structure similar to the prefect's bathroom appeared.

……

Link showed Harry and others several forms of the Room of Requirement one after another, until John was so turned that he was about to vomit, then he gave up and changed the environment to the study room again.

"This... this is so cool! ~ This is simply the best place to make a secret base!"

Harry stammered and shouted loudly. His whole body was shaking as he spoke. He didn't know whether he was excited or was just as dizzy as John.

Although Cedric and John didn't act as overly as Harry, they were obviously equally excited.

Compared with them, Hermione had obviously not forgotten Link's existence, and even though she was excited, she did not forget to thank Link:

"Link, did you ask us to come here just to show us this? Thank you so much!"

After hearing this, Link said with a serious expression:

"Actually, this is only secondary. The main reason is that I want to ask you, how are you getting along with Umbridge recently?"

The smiles on Harry and Hermione's faces disappeared instantly. The former lowered his head and said in a stiff tone:

"What else? That's it!"

Hermione forced herself to speak:

"Link, don't forget what he said. He was punished by Umbridge for another week of confinement today!"

"What's going on here?"

Link asked in a deep voice.

Harry originally wanted to complain about why Hermione told Link this matter.

But under Link's stern gaze, he finally lowered his head and said:

"This is entirely something that the old woman deliberately found out about me and wanted to punish me!"

Link didn't completely listen to his words and turned to look at Hermione.

"I don't object to this." Hermione said, "But, Harry, as Professor McGonagall said, if you behave better, pretend better, and don't let Umbridge get the hang of it, even if she Even if I hate you, there is no chance to punish you."

"I can't bear it! How can I bear it when facing such a disgusting person?!"

Harry held his head and said loudly.

Hearing this, Hermione also remained silent. She also understood that with Harry's temper, it would be impossible for him to compromise under Umbridge.

Moreover.

She was also unhappy with the way she was taught in front of Umbridge.

Thinking of this, Hermione suddenly raised her head and said to Link:

"Link, we must take action against Umbridge!"

"I suggest poisoning."

Emily said seriously.

"No, no, no... we can't do that!"

Hermione said dancing.

She was really panicked.

Emily's serious look made Hermione think she might actually do that.

Because what Emily said can be regarded as a method that can completely eradicate the problem.

John and Cedric also looked at Emily in horror.

"I mean," Hermione continued, "Umbridge is an absolutely terrible teacher. We can't learn anything from her at all! But Harry and I are about to face the Owl exam this year. Moreover, the Dark Lord has also been resurrected, and we need more powerful power!"

Cedric frowned and said:

"It's too late now. You know, Umbridge got the job and is here to stay, and Fudge will make sure of that.

Unless, we really poison her to death! "

"I told you not to do that!" Hermione suddenly raised her voice, then lowered her head as if she realized something, glanced at Link nervously, and said hesitantly, "Well, actually, today I I have always been thinking, thinking that maybe we can... we can just do it ourselves."

"Do it yourself? What do you mean?"

John said with a confused look on his face, unable to understand what Hermione meant.

Hermione sighed, and was about to say something more clearly, when Link opposite him said:

"Hermione, it turns out you think so too."

"Ah! You mean... you also..."

Hermione jumped up excitedly and couldn't even speak clearly.

Link nodded, smiled and explained to everyone:

"Since Umbridge refuses to teach us real Defense Against the Dark Arts, then we should simply learn it ourselves.

Not only those of us here, but other students who want to improve themselves can also join. "

"Forget it Link, to be honest, I don't have time for this." Harry said dejectedly, "You know what? Not only do I have to accept Umbridge's confinement punishment, but I also have homework and Quidditch training. These things take up too much of my time, not to mention teaching myself Defense Against the Dark Arts, and even sleeping..."

Link raised his eyebrows and interrupted:

"Then what if I say that I am willing to be a professor in this self-study organization and personally teach you Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

"Forehead--"

The words Harry hadn't spoken yet were stuck in his mouth. He just opened his mouth wide and looked at Link blankly.

There is no doubt about Link's powerful fighting ability.

Can be taught by him personally.

This was quite a temptation for Harry.

It was just the inertia of his thinking that made him instinctively look for excuses to continue refusing.

The first thing that popped into his mind was the teaching venue.

But before he thought about it, he realized that the room he was in now was the Room of Requirement.

Link also obtained his thoughts through Legilimency, and with a smile, he controlled the room again and began to transform.

The environment the few of them were in instantly changed from a gentle study room to a magic training room.

Not only that, with a flick of Link's wand, the books on the corner bookshelf were automatically distributed in front of everyone.

"Common Spells and Solutions", "Outsmarting Black Magic", "Collection of Self-Defense Spells", "Fighting Fire with Fire"...

As the number of books increased, Harry's mind began to go blank.

Hermione, on the other hand, was completely enveloped in the rare tacit understanding between her and Link when Link first started speaking, and was enveloped in joy.

She nodded without Link saying a word, her eyes shining.

"We have professors and teaching venues. Is there anyone who is not willing now?"

Link opened his hands and said with a smile.

Hermione was naturally the first to stand up and agreed.

That speed was even faster than her answering speed.

Then came Harry.

John and Cedric were the last to agree.

Snapped--

Link clapped heavily and said:

"In this case, you should quickly contact the people you think may join. We will meet at the factory on the afternoon of next weekend to confirm the participants and discuss the next details."

Following Link's announcement, Hermione jumped up with joy, pulled Harry, who was still in a semi-stunned state, and rushed out of the Room of Requirement.

It was like a fire was lit in her chest now, and she couldn't help but want to start working!

Then John and Cedric also stood up and left.

But before they left, they all gave Link a complicated look.

The two of them spent more time with Link than Emily, so they also had a deeper understanding of Link's behavior patterns and knew that Link would never do anything useless.

For example, what kind of large-scale self-study organization is still needed when Umbridge is already under control and can use Umbridge to show off at any time to gather people's hearts or even kill Umbridge directly?

After this, there must be a more important purpose hidden.

That was the end of John's thoughts.

This is not because he is not intelligent enough to continue thinking about it.

It's just that he firmly believed that Link would never hurt him.

Cedric had more on his mind.

In his opinion, Link may be trying to build an organization based on Hogwarts that is only loyal to him.

In this organization, ordinary students can only exist as 'peripheral staff', but those invited to talk today are the real 'core staff'.

This development model will be familiar to anyone who has read the modern history of magic in the Republic of China.

Because this is how Voldemort relied on Slytherin House to develop!

So is Link’s purpose in creating this organization also...

Thinking of this, Cedric couldn't help but shudder as he walked in the dark corridor.
